Actually never mind. Your not worth it.

Thanks for the feeback. I've driven it about 500 miles and I haven't detected any decrease in the overflow bottle. I'm going to have to either go with a lab error or a leak that's so minor as to not be worth worry. I went to a fully synthetic oil on this pass because I couldn't find the...

My little mule appears to be acting up. It went from running like a top to the dreaded misfire on #4 cylinder so bad that it would barely idle. Thought my primary issue was a cracked head, but it turned out to be a bad plug. (See coil rail/ Champion truck plug burn up problem.) I even...

If we're talking October, I'd do Bridgeport. (...assuming the oil analysis comes back ok, if not I'll be replacing the head about that time.) Never been any of the places in Texas. Got started wheeling in Ouray.

I'm ready to be more active. It's the whole cracked 0331 cylinder head issue keeping me down. Almost have all the damage fixed from the big hail storm. I expect to start tearing things apart Monday afternoon.

There's no cats on the APN header. Where shall I put those two little wonderful sensors? (My least favorite thing about an 01.) The only reason the stock exhaust manifold is still on the Jeep is those two little wonderful sensors. This is not a trailer queen. Passing emissions is pretty...

Well the 01 just started skipping and missing all of a sudden. About 87K on the ticker and it appears from the green color under the valve cover and the somewhat apparent crack running along the top of cylinder #4 that she just blew the head. Fortunately, it's only been driven 8 miles like...

Well, I let it sit for a day so all of the oil would drain out of the top and I could see in clearly. We have a winner. Cracked head. No sludge, no crust where it's coming through but the top of the head looks green through oil hole in the vent cover and there is a visible crack now that oil...

Thanks, I'll try pulling the #4 injector connection while I'm working on it tomorrow. I have triple checked for a cracked head and I'm not seeing anything that leads me to think that. I haven't lost any coolant. The oil is clear and there isn't any brown sludge when I look inside the oil...

Hit it with a can of B12 to the tank tonight and there was no joy in mudville. If anything the problem became worse. It didn't make it around the block without the CE flashing. I've got a fancy OBD2 scantool coming in that will monitor the O2 sensor and such in real time. (Finally took the...

Bad gas had crossed my mind, but I fill everything up at the same station and I've been using the same fuel stabilizer for 12 years with no problems. The stabilized fuel is supposed to be good for 6 months but I always burn out the tank and refill at least every 3 months if it hasn't been...

Due to some family issues resulting in a total lack of time (like not enough to hardly sleep) my XJ has sat for 3 months unloved and was just fired up today. But let's no go into all of that... Here's what we have. 01XJ - 85K miles, not the crack prone block (331?) Last used to pull a small...

Now, There's a trail ride that I could make. $50 a vehicle, but my vehicle has 2.5? How much is the .5? I'm not as hard core or experienced as most of you guys, but I'd like ot come out and play. However, I ain't gettin my XJ near that rock garden.

Wow! Let me know when you have a parts sale. Add to my list possible rear main seal replacement. It started leaking last winter, but isn't spotting the floor yet.

On vacation this week. Already started on my winter projects. Put on the rock rails today. I'm gonna be sore for a while. Had the transfercase skid on, but the 3" bolt on the driver's side just about intersected the front driveshaft. I'll try again tomorrow with a 2.5" bolt. That just...

Metroplex = the Fort Worth/Dallas area. I didn't get to go to the last one because it was my wife's birthday. I may be game depending upon the date.

Well, drat! Sorry, I've had the info bookmarked for a while. That stinks. Like I said, it's been a while since I've been up there. Doesn't look like I'll be going back.

Marshall Creek Park in Trophy Club on Grapevine Lake: http://www.trophyclub.org/parks_rec/marshall_creek_park.asp It mostly flat and you have to watch out for crazed ATVers, but it's full size legal. I haven't been there in about 5 years, but I'll be hitting it in October with a budy after...

A little west of Decatur and a little east of Jacksboro on 380. Smack between them. Or about 1.5 hours NW of the dowtown Fort Worth part of the D/FW Metromess if you need a big city to go by. This will be great. Gilmer is a little far to take the family too for a days outing.
